For beginner players, strings may be replaced after three months. Intermediate players may restring after two months, and advanced players may be stringing their rackets after one month or even less. It won't hurt your racket to restring less often, but your strings might lose their responsiveness.
2. What's the best tension?
Generally, tighter strings offer more control, looser strings more comfort. Looser strings also seem to have more power because they tend to hit farther, probably due to their prolonging contact with the shuttlecock/ball while the racket moves with the stroke. String tension has a profound effect on the way a racket performs and feels. I've seen lots of players hate a racket strung at one tension, then love an identical frame strung differently. (This is a good point to keep in mind when trying rackets you're considering buying.) There's no single best tension, and the pros offer little guidance, with a huge range in their preferred tensions and little apparent correlation to style of play.
3. How to take care of your racket?
Replace the grip when it becomes worn. Do not expose the racket to excessive moisture. Use the racket to play the game(do not use the racket for any other purpose). Do not go above the manufacturer's specified maximum tension. Do not expose the racket to excessive heat.
4. Can you leave your racket in the car?
Do not leave your racket in a car on a scorching day. Ten minutes will ruin the string tension, and it might even soften the frame
5. Does hot weather affect racket strings?
Hot weather makes everything softer, including strings. To compensate, switch to a harder string type, and string at higher tensions
6. Why do strings break?
The longer vertical strings are often the first to snap after rubbing against the cross strings as a player puts spin on the ball/shuttlecock. Players that use lots of spin are more likely to break their strings more often because the spin causes more movement in the strings therefore more wear and tear
7. Do strings move?
Generally, if you hit with spin(which pushes the string), it will cause the strings to move
8. How do I know if my racket needs restringing?
The appearance of the strings - The easiest way to know when it's time to restring is by noticing how your strings look. If your strings are fraying or look shaggy, the strings are starting to come apart and you're not going to get much power when you hit the ball/shuttlecock
9. Do racket strings go bad?
Strings wear down from play and subsequently lose their tension and resilence. If left too long, it can negatively affect your performance, comfort, and feel.
10. How does string tension affect spin?
Tighter strings produce less velocity, and the ball/shuttlecock will land shorter in the court. To make up for this, the player might swing harder generating more spin.
11. Why do tennis players choose balls?
Tennis players may check three balls or more before serving so that they can select one smooth ball and one fluffy ball. The smooth ball is used for the first serve. Because the hairs are flattened down, the ball travels faster than an older ball, which should make it harder to return.
12. Why do players have so many rackets?
Strings can break at any time. It's recommended to always have at least two rackets that are strung and ready to go before each match. Many intermediate and advanced players carry additional rackets to make adjustments based on playing condition and other factors
13. How often should you change your overgrip?
While it is difficult to attach an hourly lifespan to a grip. In order to benefit from the best performance of the grip materials, overgrips should be replaced every 3 to 6 hours of play and replacement grips every 2 to 3 months
14. What badminton string is best for smashing?
The thinner string have more repulsion power. For a more powerful smash you want a thin string.
15. Why are tennis balls kept in the fridge?
Keeping them cold causes their internal air volume to shrink, so that they don't leak even the slightest bit.
16. Should I use overgrip?
A overgrip is necessary to preserve the original grip, add more cushion, absorb sweat and keep it from slipping in your hands.
17. Do strings lose tension over time?
The first, and most apparent reason, to replace your strings is that they will lose tension over time.
18. How much does Roger Federer's racket cost?
The Swiss superstar is adored by fans for his fluid game and amazing range of shots. However, no one knows that Roger Federer's racket cost $40000
19. Do tennis strings expire?
If you are an intermediate player, you wlll want to replace them after two months or less than that.
20. Can you microwave tennis balls?
You never microwave a tennis ball.
21. What is the most expensive tennis rackets?
Wilson Pro Staff 85 Original($2800)
22. How to tell if a tennis ball is good?
A healthy ball will also have a bright yellow glow. Squeeze the ball - A ball that has gone bad will be as hard as a rock or extra squishy. A good ball will have some resistance and give. Bounce the ball - Your should be able to bounce a ball with little force only to have it bounce lightly back to you.
23. What is the fuzz on a tennis ball called?
The fuzzy covering on a tennis ball is known as the nap. It not only changes the speed of the ball, but also imparts spin to it as the ball travels through the air
24. What is a dead ball in tennis?
A ball that is old and has lost its bounce.
25. Do new tennis balls make a difference?
25. The difference between old and new ball is that the old ball is softer. This means that it will stay longer on the stringbed upon contact. This results in more power, spin, and control
26. How quickly does a tennis ball lose its bounce?
The ball may become dead after 10 games
27. Why do players eat bananas?
It is a good source of carbohydrate and potassium. When players play long matches, their energy levels may lull and they may succumb to cramp if they lose too much potassium. Bananas help players refuel.
28. How high should a tennis ball bounce?
A bounce between 135 and 147 cm at 69 degrees.
29. How many tennis balls are thrown away each year?
300 million tennis balls are discarded every year
30. How often should tennis balls be replaced?
For most players, new cans of balls should be fine for a best of 3 sets match but they will start to lose their bounce after just a few games. As intermediate and advanced players hit the ball harder then beginner players, they change to a new set of balls every 9 games
